Why Criminals Confess (and you should, too) | Police Detective Jeff Wrigley

Why would anyone confess to a crime when they have the right to remain silent?

Former K-9 officer and white-collar detective Jeff Wrigley has spent years in the room where criminals confess—and he’s discovered something shocking: most of them feel RELIEF when they finally tell the truth.

In this eye-opening conversation, Jeff reveals why guilt and shame work like a “boa constrictor” that squeezes tighter every day, why the interrogation room and the confessional aren’t that different, and what physically happens when someone finally comes clean.

We also dive into Jeff’s powerful conversion story (including his first confession in a police cruiser), why shame makes kids hide instead of heal, and the one phrase every parent needs when their kid messes up.

This conversation will change how you think about confession—both the sacrament and the human need to be known and loved anyway.
